Silence - Helisir, Christopher Juul

There was silence

The silence they talked about

The silence that is sometimes necessary

To hear how good it is

And rust on the iron rail

Black and white tiles

Warm water

Freckles on the palm of your hand

I traced the outlines of your hands

What’s left a memory

A burden

But deep down in silence you are here

And I could feel and I could breathe

And «Only if I can sit beside you» is forever carved in my bones

The world seemed so far away

I never felt so alone

Here I’m standing

You didn’t even proof me wrong

The silence which became necessary

Has taken far too long
